Chapter 122 How Did You Become a Knight?
Ashes Town is busy, oh, it doesn’t seem like it’s always busy.
Darcy opened the door, felt the sunshine outside, moved his body, and with a confident look on his face, he took soap and went to the edge of the drain, greeting people passing by.
The water in the canal is relatively turbid. It is said that it is caused by the erosion of soil upstream. However, the lord said that as long as cement can be produced in batches, the situation can be improved.
Darcy didn't care. Anyway, he was just washing his face. It didn't matter whether the water was turbid or not, because there was soap.
Since the lord made soap, he asked some serfs with more skillful hands to participate in the production. A large amount of soap was made every day, and some unqualified soap was given to the militia for free.
The adults have various requirements for the militia members, such as washing their faces with soap every day, taking a bath every two days, and learning to read and write every night. In addition to the most basic training, they also need Participate in farming, cutting, etc.
Many people don't understand why adults ask for it, but it must be done.
Darcy liked it very much. In the past, when he didn't take a bath, he would have a thick layer of mud on his body and a strange smell. After he got used to it, he couldn't smell it. But once he took a bath, especially using soap, all the mud on his body was washed away. After that, he got used to the scent.
There was also learning to read and write, which he found particularly interesting and worked very hard. Even Butler Caris praised him, saying that he was the fastest learner among them.
After a while, people from the militia team came over one after another. After washing, they immediately rushed to the designated place to stand in line. They first stood in a military posture, and then ran in circles. They did this every day.
Some people think that washing their face after sweating is better than not washing it in the first place, but Darcy doesn't think so.
Darcy stood up straight and looked forward, where Captain Jack was with them.
I heard that Captain Miles left town and didn't know what he was doing.
Darcy stood very relaxed and was still in the mood to think about other things. Thinking about it reminded him of the way he stood in a military posture at the beginning.
At that time, he thought it was just standing. It was such a simple thing, but standing still didn't work. Only then did he realize that standing in a military posture could be so terrifying.
That time he almost fainted, and that night he felt pain all over his body, which lasted for several days before he felt better.
Now, he feels relaxed. Of course, he can't stand all day long, otherwise he will still feel tired.
Time passed slowly, and with Captain Jack's order, they quickly moved towards the center, lined up neatly, and started running circles around the town under the leadership of the captain.
After one lap, Darcy didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he felt that running laps was a way to relax.
But on the second lap, he suddenly felt very hungry for some reason. His stomach kept growling, and his teammates heard it.
Darcy was a little surprised. He had eaten in the morning, so he shouldn't be hungry so quickly.
However, the hunger did not disappear. On the contrary, it became more and more intense. He clearly felt that his stomach was deflated.
The sound of his stomach growling even reached Captain Jack's ears. He walked over and looked at himself without saying anything.
On the fourth lap, Darcy felt that he had no strength at all, his vision began to go dark, his legs seemed to be restrained, and he didn't want to move at all, but he still remembered that he had to finish, as long as he finished running It's time to eat.
On the fifth lap, as a voice sounded, Darcy fell to the ground.
"Passed out?"
In the castle, Linn was writing a plan and was a little surprised when she heard little Tom shouting.
He followed Little Tom out, wondering in his heart whether it was due to hypoglycemia, but he had made a rule that he could only train after breakfast, just to prevent such a situation from happening.
Harvey jumped up and followed him, "Someone fainted. Does he need treatment?"
Linn ignored him.
They arrived at Darcy's house, where many people were gathered.
"Sir!" Jack and the others shouted immediately when they saw Linn coming.
Linn looked at Darcy lying on the bed. He had his eyes closed tightly, his face was pale, he was sweating, and his body was still shaking slightly.
He tried his forehead and found that it was not hot, but he looked weak.
This shouldn't be the case. It would be normal for Darcy to faint due to weakness when he first came here. However, he has been training here for so long and is provided with meals every day. Moreover, because of his good performance, he is often rewarded with meat porridge. No matter what, it can't be empty.
"Do you want treatment?" Harvey asked again.
Lin En glanced at him, looked at his greedy look, and nodded.
The door was closed, and there were only a few of them in the room. Harvey stretched out his hand, and a little light green light appeared, and then fell on Darcy.
Darcy's body stopped shaking, and he slowly opened his eyes and saw the Lord. He wanted to stand up, but found that he had no strength.
Harvey pointed his hand at Lynn, "Money!"
"Ask Karis for it!"
Lynn asked, "How are you feeling now?"
Darcy struggled a few times, but still didn't sit up, and said weakly: "Lord, I just feel hungry."
"Hungry?" Linn was surprised.
"Well, I felt very hungry when I was running laps. I thought about going to eat after finishing the run, but I didn't expect that I fainted." Darcy was very embarrassed, and he didn't expect that he would faint because of hunger.
Linn thought of something and reached out to grab Darcy's arm, "How is this possible?"
"Have you ever learned breathing techniques?"
"No, what is breathing method?"
"What's wrong, sir, am I suffering from some disease?" Darcy became frightened when he saw this.
"No, just lie here and don't move." Linn opened the door and went out, telling Little Tom, "Go and call Matthew the Knight, and also ask Caris to prepare a lot of meat."
Little Tom left in a hurry.
Linn looked at the other members of the militia team and said, "Don't worry, Darcy is just too hungry. You all go and do your own business."
The militia members left one after another, but Jack stayed. He was the captain and needed to be responsible for his own members.
Not long after, Karis and several male servants came over, holding large pieces of dried meat in their hands.
"Master, I brought the meat, what did you use it for?" Karis asked curiously.
"Go cook it!"
There was no pot stove in Darcy's room, so Karis asked his servants to simply build one and put the pot on it. As the flames continued to roast, the meat in the pot gradually became cooked.
Linn asked them to take the cooked meat to the house for Darcy to eat.
At this moment, Matthew also came here. He couldn't see clearly, but he didn't want to let little Tom support him, so he came by listening to the sound.
"There's something I need you to check." Linn said in a serious tone, "I'm a little unsure. Only you, a senior knight, can be sure."
"What's going on?" Matthew was confused. It was a bit weird to call him over in such a hurry and let him check it out as a useless person.
Linn took Matthew into the house. Darcy was eating meat. It seemed that because of eating, his face was no longer so ugly.
"He is Darcy. He fainted because of hunger today. Please check the reason why he fainted."
Matthew frowned, "You said it was because of hunger, what can I check?"
"You can find out just by looking it up."
Matthew had no choice but to reach out and fumble. When his hand touched Darcy, his face changed slightly and he said, "Are you kidding me? This is because his body lacks energy and has not been replenished in time. Fainting means that he is about to become a knight, and you are very lucky, as your subordinates break through one after another."
When Darcy heard this, he stopped chewing and was surprised.
Jack on the side trembled, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"That's the problem. Darcy has not received special training and has never learned breathing techniques." Lin En's tone was solemn, "But he wants to condense the seeds of life and become a knight. Don't you think it's strange?"
Matthew was confused, "I remember he was from the militia. He participated in training every day. Miles became a knight because of this training. You said it was strange, but it is true. What is your training method, before and after? It’s only been a few days, and someone is going to become a knight again.”
Lin En shook his head. The training he set, such as standing in military posture, running circles, timing, and a series of commands, were all to cultivate the loyalty and obedience of these people.
It is more reliable to say that running circles can make them knights. It is better to use the reason that they practice radio gymnastics.
Linn glanced at Darcy and said, "You continue to eat as much as you want."
He and Matthew left the house, away from the others.
Linn said: "That training method is of no use to them becoming knights, and Darcy has never been exposed to any breathing methods. He is just an ordinary person. So, can an ordinary person become a knight?"
"No!" Matthew answered directly, "If ordinary people can become knights so easily, then there will be knights everywhere. Knight is not just a title. You need to condense the seeds of life and be able to use combat skills. Are you sure he didn't practice secretly? Pranayama?"
"You are a senior knight. Although your strength is declining now, you can still feel whether a person has learned the breathing method. Do you think Darcy has learned it?" Lin En asked.
Matthew was silent for a while, and then he said: "No!"
"That's the question, why does a person who has never learned the breathing method start to condense the seeds of life and become a knight? Have you seen anyone like this before?"
"No!" Matthew shook his head again.
